CANgraph 6.5

Graphically Supported, Signal-oriented Offline Evaluation of Measurement Data

Download Datasheet

CANgraph is the tool of choice for user-friendly offline evaluation of the internal measured variables of an ECU and measured data from the CAN/LIN bus or other test equipment. The measured data recorded during network development, analysis, and ECU calibration can be read into CANgraph in various formats for post-processing. These include the widely-used MDF format, CSV and ATF formats, and all formats generated by CANalyzer or CANoe. Furthermore, it is possible to import text files containing measured data organized in tables.

Features and Advantages:

The CANgraph evaluation program displays the recorded measurement data as physical process data in time diagrams. User-friendly display elements, zoom and measurement functions are provided for the evaluation.

Application Areas:

The CANgraph offline evaluation program displays measured data graphically and processes them further. This makes CANgraph the ideal tool for evaluating measurement data in network development, analysis, and ECU calibration

Functions:

CANgraph offers a large number of evaluation options for editing and comparing measurement data:

• Graphic display of measurement data in graphic, digital and bar windows. Alphanumeric display of measurement values is possible in numeric and text windows.
• Zoom functions and a measurement cursor let the user study signal responses at any desired level of detail, and user-definable search criteria may be used.
• CANgraph utilizes models created in MATLAB/Simulink for signal evaluation.
• The time ranges set for selected signals can be saved in separate measurement files.
• The user can comment signal points and ranges. The comments appear in the Graphic Window and printout and are saved in the MDF file.
• Individual measurement signals can be activated/deactivated in the legends of graphic, digital, and bar windows, and their line type, color, and thickness can be changed.
• User-definable panels simplify visualization of measured data.
• Multimedia signals recorded with CANape can be displayed synchronously to the measured data in the Multimedia Window.
• By using the multiple selection feature in the display window's legend, it is possible to perform operations on several signals at once, e.g. "Zoom-in".
• Print functions can be used to add comments and page titles and print out display elements.
• The GPS Option can be added to CANgraph to display the vehicle's position on an electronic map.
• Convenient drag & drop functionality from the Symbol Explorer to the various display windows

	NEW FEATURES OF Version 6.5 Optimized user control concept: Automatic conversion of measurement windows into display windows for measurement files when reading in a CANape configuration IntelliSense input assistance in the function editor reduces work effort when writing functions and scripts 'Play' mode for playing back measurement data in the display windows Integrated GFX Editor of the CANape Option Advanced Multimedia makes it easy to manage graphic objects in the driver assistance development area Extended display and evaluation: Evaluation of CANoe log files (ASCII and BLF) with FlexRay, LIN and J1939 contents Support of the CANcaseXL log data format XLX Access to Min/Max ASAP2 definitions and to Min/Max values of a measured signal by script Copying the contents of GPS and multimedia windows to clipboard simplifies documentation

Representation Types:

Signals with different scaling and physical meaning can be displayed in the windows. Mixed display of analog and digital signals permits direct comparison, e.g. of switch states and resulting system reactions. CANgraph displays signals either over a time axis or in relation to another signal in XY format. In digital windows the individual bits of signals can be shown graphically over a time axis.

The global cursor may be used to have the measurement cursors in all display windows move synchronous to one another. In parallel, text windows display values corresponding to the positions of the measurement cursors. If applicable, the associated image is displayed in the Video Window. For comparison purposes signals from several different measurement value files may be displayed simultaneously. Of course, statistical data measured using CANalyzer/ CANoe, such as bus loading, message rates, and error rates, can also be evaluated.
